Their painful stings affect about 40% of people in infested areas each year. Twenty million people a year are stung by fireants in the United States!When these pesky critters invade an area, they do it with a vengeance. There will be enormous numbers of them which can dramatically reduce populations of native ants, other insects, and even ground-nesting wildlife. Watch out. They invade homes,school yards, athletic fields, golf courses, and parks. They will damage crops and electrical equipment, costing humans billions of dollars each year in repairs and eradication. TexasA&MUniversity estimated the cost to the state of Texas alone was over $1 billion per year.

They only have 20% as many fireants as we do, probably because North America lacks the natural enemies of the pesky critters.These guys are aggressive! They initially spread throughout Alabama and Florida, but it didn't take them long to invade twelve of our southeastern states and Puerto Rico. In recent years, the fireant has spread as far west as California and as far north as Kansas and Maryland. And they have even made it to the tropical paradise of Hawaii.
